JAKARTA - Google Doodle today commemorates World Quantum Day, which falls every April 14, to raise public awareness and understanding of science and quantum technology around the world.
Art works featured in today's Doodle show thaumatrope, an optical tool and toy consisting of a disc with two different images on both sides. When rapidly rotated, both images will blend and form one image.
Thaumatrope helps describe the concept of quantum superposition: when a particle is in some circumstances at once," Google wrote in a statement on its official blog.
Based on the official page of World Quantum Day, the commemoration which is celebrated every April 14 refers to the 4.14 figure, the first figure rounded up from the Planck constant (4.14 \times 10 < 15 eV·s), a fundamental value in quantum physics that describes the relationship between energy and frequency of an energy quantum.
World Quantum Day aims to involve the general public in understanding and discussing Quantum Science and Technology, about how these technologies are used in people's daily lives.

The celebration is an initiative of quantum scientists around the world, which was launched on April 14, 2021 as a countdown to its first global celebration on April 14, 2022.
This is a decentralized initiative, which invites all scientists, engineers, educators, communicators, entrepreneurs, technologists, historians, philosophers, artists, museologists, producers, and so on, to celebrate this World Quantum Day.
The year 2025 has a special meaning because it marks 100 years since the birth of quantum mechanics, making it the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.
